> I'm not sure what you mean when you ask if we use it from mainstream.. we're trying to build 1.4.x from source downloaded from www.openafs.org.
There is some implementation of AFS in mainstream (vanilla) kernel 2.6.8 and consequently in openVZ kernel. May be it pass your needs?
You can download openVZ sources and .config file, add
CONFIG_AFS_FS=m
string to .config file and compile kernel.
> We generated a local patch that seemed to let openafs build, and afs is working on the host machine, but not in any of the VPSes.
So, you were able to mount AFS on host machine? And you also were
able to work with files on mounted AFS on host machine?

It's impossible and must not be necessary to load modules inside VPS...
So, please, investigate, what about mainstream AFS?
I will try to set up AFS on my node, asap.
Thanks.
